27 week pregnancy update

Week: 27 weeks!

Pregnancy symptoms: I've been incredibly tired and I'm starting to wonder if its my iron levels? I have indigestion every day but its not so bad so I can deal with it :) Incase you were wondering I had it with both my children and they both had hair when they were born! Slight traces of protein in my urine but nothing to worry about! I get out of breath fairly quickly and I'm swelling a tad during the day. I think that's it!!

Moody/happy: Still very happy! 

Pregnancy cravings: My eating habits have taken a turn for the worst! I'm so tired that I can't be bothered preparing anything so I keep eating junk. And now all I want is junk food :s I would gladly eat super healthy but someone would need to come cook for me lol! When I do have energy I've been making a few nights dinner and freezing them because I don't want to feed my kids junk and i'd really rather not eat junk for dinner.

Total weight gain: 73.2kgs (4.2kgs all together)

Sleep: Still sleeping amazingly. I don't remember being this tired with the girls though.

Movement: Jelly bean is not kicking as hard as mj did but he's certainly kicking alot! I'm still crossing my fingers that he will be smaller and his kicks are not as strong because he has more room!

Best moment this week: Well because I'm  uploading this entry late, it's actually part of next weeks update but on Saturday I surprised Tom with an engagement ring. We were supposed to go looking together but I knew exactly what he wanted so I just went ahead and bought it! He was stoked. 

Looking forward to: Our first midwife appointment next weekend. I'm naughty and missed our first one due to the whole getting engaged and spending an amazing weekend with my fiancé lol. I do see my doctor regularly though so it wasn't a big deal. I am a little nervous because I really didn't like the midwives I had with mj and its the same clinic. I ended up seeing a private OB.

Not looking forward to: If you have had the glucose test then you will know what I'm talking about, but for those who don't know, it's a test to see if you have developed gestational (pregnancy) diabetes. First you have to fast (not eat). Then you need to drink 600mls (I think) of this straight sugar syrup yucky stuff which is ok for the first mouthful but by the end you feel like you've just drank a litre of straight cordial. Then you need to wait an hour (i think) in the waiting room, then you have to have your blood drawn. I think you may have to have your blood drawn before the test to. I suppose it isn't a big deal but the wait is sooo boring. Thank god for candy crush lol!
